Digger is an upcoming American black comedy film from acclaimed director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, marking his return to sharp-edged, provocative storytelling. Iñárritu co-wrote the screenplay alongside longtime collaborators Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris Jr., and Nicolás Giacobone, the award-winning creative team behind several of his most celebrated works. Together, they craft a darkly comedic narrative that blends biting satire with character-driven drama.
The film features an impressive ensemble cast led by Tom Cruise, joined by Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Sophie Wilde, Emma D’Arcy, Robert John Burke, Burn Gorman, Michael Stuhlbarg, and John Goodman. With a mix of blockbuster power and prestige talent, Digger positions itself as a bold, conversation-starting entry in the black comedy genre, pairing Iñárritu’s signature intensity with a cast known for fearless, transformative performances.
Digger is scheduled for release in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 2, 2026.
